In the countryside spending time with my eldest sister

 I'm spending a few days in my eldest sister's house in a countryside. I got to enjoy her wonderful cooking, feeding her fish and tortoises, touring in the neighborhoods and enjoy the beautiful sceneries as well. 

She is also my private art collector! (The lady in the photo is me though)

Some of my paintings are now in her home - kestrel, polar bear and cub, Scottish landscape, two cats and kingfisher.

It is also lovely to see my artworks and felt toys in her shop.

This tortoise and a smaller one will be traveling  with me soon. They both look like turtle and the bigger one used to eat a lot and is very energetic. I shall miss my sister and do hope someday I can live nearby her so we can see each other more often and take care of each other. She is a nurse and is a very caring and loving person. I've learned so much from her on healthcare and now she is also quite a qualified aquarist! She has two bigger fish, two tortoises (adopted by me, she said she has little time to take care of them) and two Nemo fish.

I look forward to update on my trip soon. As for now, take care there.

Squirrel in winter

 

Update: 17 July

Dear friends, I'm glad that my squirrel in winter watercolour painting is done.

Hello, I hope you are well. This is my latest squirrel watercolour painting. There are still some minor details and it's done.

I used to watch squirrels in my late father's house where they would jump from one tree to another, playing and hiding and searching for food. Squirrels are such beautiful animals.

My second Scottish landscape watercolour painting

Update: 11 July 2024

My second Scottish landscape watercolour painting is completed.

 Dear friends, I'm working on new Scottish landscape watercolour painting today. A little white house with mountains under the blue sky, Scotland, UK.

The mountains in Scotland are beautiful.

Behind the scene! Little red bird is watching me painting. It is nearly 8pm here, I'll continue to paint for one more hour and then will continue the work tomorrow.

Update: 10 July

Dear friends, today I paint the hills and the grasses. It has been challenging to me one thing is because the paper is A3 size but I'm glad that it is progressing well, thank the Lord. The painting should be completed tomorrow. This is my second Scottish landscape watercolour painting.
